Chicago Bears: Free agents to sign from NFC North

As the Chicago Bears get ready for 2020 NFL Free Agency, what are some free agents they should consider from the NFC North?

When NFL Free Agency opens up in mid-March, the Chicago Bears are expected to be active and sign a handful of players. And for a team who’s arrow is currently pointing sideways, it’s unknown what the Bears plan to do. We know the team is in the market for a quarterback this offseason but there are other positional needs on both sides of the ball that will need to be addressed.

Then there are other positions such as edge rusher where the Bears don’t have a major need but they could still use some depth. Luckily, free agency will provide the Bears with an opportunity to fill these smaller holes as well.

The beauty of NFL Free Agency is that you’re able to sign players from any team. For the Bears, this means that they can poach from within their division as well. The Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, and Detroit Lions all have a number of free agents that should interest the Bears.

While most would argue against signing players who played for division rivals, the NFL is all about winning championships. And if winning a championship means signing players from your rivals, you need to do it.

However, the Bears will need to be smart with how they do things. General Manager Ryan Pace doesn’t have the salary cap space that he’s had during previous offseasons. Essentially, he’ll need to get creative with how he does things.

With NFL Free Agency right around the corner, what are some free agents that the Chicago Bears could consider adding that played in the NFC North in 2019? Let’s break some names down and find out.
